That's because I understand the car has to be transported a distance from the plant itself before getting to the port meaning build dates must start surely at least a week prior to the car arriving at the port. That's fair enough but I've heard that the Germans/Bavarians have some of the best working conditions around and I figured they probably have a considerably long break over Xmas/NY. Anyway, my sceptisim is pretty much unfounded if yours is also a 2010 build from around the same time. I guess they just have a pretty smart logisitics system in operation. You're pretty lucky too as I reckon all the stars must've been aligned just right with your car being built as early as possible in 2010, got straight on an express ship and made it here in next to no time! Let us see some photos once delivery is done and dusted.

I'm still waiting for my car! This is bsh*t. Something seems fishy - do you think dealers can, or are, dodgy?

BTW - What's the maximum km on the odometer that you guys would accept for a car just off the boat? That's the first thing I'll check together with the build/compliance plate!
Nope, my dealer aint dodgy, as far as i know. Given im going to pick my car up on Thu next week....

My order was placed on the 2nd Oct 2009, i specified i wanted a 2010 BUILD and complied (didnt want Dec 09 build) even thought its the same spec. In me doing that they said they could guarantee me the first 135i build for Jan 2010, and it looks like they have delivered on that...

My car is in the Mel docks this week and pickup has been organised for Thu next week

Pics soon to follow!

Have the 1 series Coupes received the white LED Corona rings yet or are they still on the old-style yellow rings?

Great colour.

I was keen on the blue but at the end of last year could only get my hands on the black which was also on my shortlist...but not on the top. I was rushing to buy before the Rudd tax incentive finished so took what I could get in the end.

I'm very pleased though

I see its a Stillwell car - so might see you around the traps here in Melbourne.

Enjoy!!!

6 months plus one day after putting the deposit down I've finally got a sneak peek of my car this afternoon still at pre delivery stage. Never seen my colour combo in person until today and it was definitely the right choice for me! Haven't got a confirmed delivery date yet other than sometime next week. Oh the wait is now even more painful after seeing it!

I had a quick once over look and I couldn't find the location of the build plate. I saw the VIN stamped on the driver side strut tower and the compliance sticker on the passenger side door jamb but no build plate. Where is it on the E82? I've done a search on here and Google but didn't find anything other than...someone like myself who specifically ordered a 2010 build and the car (X5) arrived here with a 2009 plate on it!

OT: Also saw a few X1s both under covers and out in the open. Not a bad looking vehicle I thought.

Brad, don't the 2010 models have larger/different side mirrors than the 2009. I'm sure you could find a older model and compare in the lot?

Yeah Richie it has the SUV mirrors and all but that only signifies a post Sept 2009 build (MY10 model but still built 2009). I need to know if the car was actually built this year as I specifically asked for otherwise I could've easily been driving an MY10 model since January.

Anyone know where the build plate is located? I sussed it out on an E91 I had briefly a while back and it was inside the passenger door jamb but it's not there on the E82...

Thanks banglemangle. Just been trawling all over to find a decent under bonnet photo and found this one - is that where you mean? Assuming it is, I didn't think to look there of all places so no wonder I couldn't find it.

I bloody hope so after waiting this long although that's no fault of the dealers. I won't see the car again until delivery day presumably sometime next week when they let me know I can collect it. I'll be sure to check out the build plate then.

Mine has the sticker you circled plus another, smaller one on the other side of the bonnet latch identifying the build month and year. Mine is a 2009, so perhaps the 2010 is different.

If you ordered it has to be or they would be legally obligated to supply, although my build plate is not located in the place you have circled (on my car this is the Aircond refrig identifier)

Mine is very clearly October 09 and as dealer agreed - location is opposite side to the refrig sticker.

all i can say is its worth the wait

the above is meant to represent a burnout - whoops me and mr Hamilton have something in common, except i only placed my self in danger !
